"Could it also be Snowflake Jade Dew?"

Jian Qingfeng cheerfully accepted this little jade vial... Since it was bestowed by the Sect Leader, he certainly wouldn't be stingy. While secretly collecting the item, he couldn't help but hope and fantasize like this.

Although Snowflake Jade Dew is not considered the topmost elixir in the Kunlun Sect, it is among the best of the best. Only Supreme Realm powerhouses are qualified to enjoy such treasures... Those sect elders, unless they have made great contributions to the sect, can only hope to receive one or two pills; most are not qualified to obtain them.

Qin Fang was able to receive Snowflake Jade Dew from the Sect Leader, and Jian Qingfeng wasn't jealous at all...

Firstly, what Qin Fang is doing now is already considered a great contribution to the Kunlun Sect, as he is single-handedly carrying the banner of Kunlun... Otherwise, Kunlun would have long been suppressed by other sects and had no hope of turning the tables.

Secondly, Qin Fang was just caught up in Dolun's self-destruction, and he must be quite injured. Ordinary elixirs won't have much effect; only Snowflake Jade Dew can quickly recover Qin Fang's injuries... After all, Qin Fang still has several more difficult battles, and he must maintain peak battle strength.

Moreover, Qin Fang is the closed-door disciple of Sect Leader Qing Xu Lao Dao, who naturally wouldn't be too stingy.

Considering all this, why would Jian Qingfeng be jealous?

Of course, offering a Blood Replenishing Pill now made Qing Xu Lao Dao very pleased. A small vial of elixir as compensation made him quite satisfied... Although he felt the possibility of it being Snowflake Jade Dew was not very high, it didn't stop him from fantasizing.

Snowflake Jade Dew is not something abundant, not even Qing Xu Lao Dao himself probably has much stored... Giving Qin Fang one vial, and if he gave himself one too, it would be too extravagant.

Once he found a secluded place, Jian Qingfeng opened the bottle stopper to check the elixir inside.

"Wanqing Pill?"

Seeing the elixir inside, Jian Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he furiously pinched his thigh, nearly jumping three feet in excitement.

The Wanqing Pill is also a top-tier elixir of the Kunlun Sect, and although slightly inferior to Snowflake Jade Dew, only by a bit.

The difference is that the materials for Snowflake Jade Dew are hard to find and difficult to refine, making its effects stronger and naturally more precious... Wanqing Pill is relatively easier to refine, and its materials are easier to gather, with various combinations, resulting in a larger quantity.

However, it is still an elixir only the sect elders are qualified to possess, and for a Second Generation Disciple like him, very few can own it... Let alone this entire vial of Wanqing Pills.

Comparatively, the value of this full vial of Wanqing Pills is even higher than the small vial of Snowflake Jade Dew Qin Fang received.

Counting Qin Fang's vial, there are only about three or four pills at most, whereas he has twelve... The difference is quite evident.

Of course, Jian Qingfeng was very happy and excited, but Qin Fang disregarded these Wanqing Pills.

In terms of effectiveness, other than slightly boosting cultivation, Wanqing Pills are mainly for healing injuries... slightly better than Qin Fang's Blood Replenishing Pills and of little significance to Qin Fang, as his Props Box contains hundreds to thousands of Blood Replenishing Pills, and he wouldn't care for such a small vial of Wanqing Pills.

This Snowflake Jade Dew is obviously different...

This elixir is a secret concoction of the Kunlun Sect, and since the materials are quite rare, each year the Kunlun Sect can only refine a few furnaces, with a maximum success of about twenty or thirty pills. When divided among several Supreme Realm powerhouses, each would get about five or six pills.

Of course, these Supreme Realm powerhouses generally wouldn't use them, so these elixirs accumulate in their possession... For Qing Xu Lao Dao to give away a whole vial at once is certainly a great gesture of generosity, as he is known to be quite stingy.

Of course, this isn't what Qin Fang cares about...

What Qin Fang truly cares about is that among the configuration materials for Snowflake Jade Dew is the Essence of Sunflower Water... which is very good news for him.

The Essence of Sunflower Water, also known as the essence of water...

It's one of the supreme materials for alchemy... not only is it the best material for fusion, but also the best buffer, almost guaranteeing an 80% success rate in elixir refining.

Qin Fang has collected quite a lot of medicinal materials, and he's always wanted to refine a furnace of Hundred Herbs Elixir... Unfortunately, the difficulty is too great, and the success rate is too low.

He has a lot of materials on hand, but the consumption for the Hundred Herbs Elixir is too large, and he can at most withstand the consumption of two to three furnaces...

However, even though he possessed formidable alchemy skills, the pill formation rate was less than 30%, which made him hesitant to proceed... because he might end up wasting countless herbs and still fail to produce a single Hundred Herbs Elixir in the end.

Therefore, Qin Fang has always been searching for treasures that could increase the pill formation rate...

For example, those legendary alchemical cauldrons, and top-tier alchemy materials like the Essence of Sunflower Water.

Unfortunately, these items are too rare, and he has been searching for a long time without success... He almost temporarily forgot about this matter, but unexpectedly, in a twist of fate, the Essence of Sunflower Water revealed itself.

Qing Xu Lao Dao might have thought Qin Fang was very excited seeing the Snowflake Jade Dew, knowing its value... but he didn't realize that what Qin Fang truly valued was not the elixir itself, but the Essence of Sunflower Water it contained.

As for the elixir... to put it bluntly, Qin Fang really didn't take it seriously!

As long as he's provided with enough materials and formulas, even without blending the Essence of Sunflower Water, Qin Fang can still ensure a relatively high pill formation rate... so, Qin Fang is really not coveting the Snowflake Jade Dew.

The Essence of Sunflower Water has already merged into the Snowflake Jade Dew and can't be extracted anymore, so Qin Fang can only look at it helplessly... but Qin Fang is still quite happy; at least he knows that the Kunlun Sect likely possesses some Essence of Sunflower Water.

"Looks like I have to figure something out..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The Essence of Sunflower Water is extremely precious; otherwise, he wouldn't have been searching for so long with no results... The Kunlun Sect might have some, but they definitely treat it like a strategic resource and preserve it, not easily taken out.

Only for crafting precious elixirs like Snowflake Jade Dew do they add just a little bit...

From the fact that only Paramount Experts can enjoy the Snowflake Jade Dew, Qin Fang knew that acquiring some Essence of Sunflower Water would be immensely challenging... unless Qin Fang could achieve an unparalleled feat or exchange some other treasures, there might be a slim hope.

The treasures on Qin Fang's body are quite plentiful, such as the Four Symbols Qi Cultivation Technique, the Puppet person as a tool for slaughter, the terrifying Exotic Beasts like the Godslayer Worm Queen, the Human Origin Golden Pill as an absolute treasure, even the blood of the Little Dragon Silkworm, and so on and so forth... These could be exchanged for treasures like the Essence of Sunflower Water!

However, Qin Fang clearly won't use these treasures to exchange with the Kunlun Sect; these are his precious items, which cannot be revealed... Once exposed, Qin Fang would face endless disasters and pursuits.

Aside from these supreme treasures, slightly inferior ones, like the Azure Dragon Pill... these are just a little less valuable; the Kunlun Sect might be tempted but might not agree to trade!

"Right, the treasure in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm..."

After thinking it over, Qin Fang suddenly remembered the treasure in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm... Although he hasn't figured out what this treasure might be, at least it can allow one to easily advance to the Supreme Realm, which would certainly intrigue the Kunlun Sect.

Supreme Realm Powerhouses are the ultimate weapons of every sect and truly establish the strength of the sect like nuclear weapons... Although the Five Great Sects seemingly rank based on the points in the Five Sect Competition, they actually base it on the number and strength of their Supreme Realm Powerhouses.

Why can Tianwai Tower consistently dominate the top ranking of the Five Great Sects... It's not because of talents like Li Wuhua, but because Tianwai Tower has Emperor Chu Kuangren, along with four other Supreme Realm Powerhouses.

And the other four sects, although slightly weaker, are very formidable, each having four Supreme Realm Powerhouses...

Thus, the first position is long held by Tianwai Tower, while the remaining four sects compete for second to fifth places... This is because the four sects have little difference in peak strength, and it's mainly the performance of the disciples under the sect that matters.

But if one sect suddenly gains an additional Supreme Realm Powerhouse, this balance would inevitably be disrupted... Perhaps it would become the first and second positions being fixed, with the remaining three sects vying for the third to fifth positions.

Since Qianyu Divine Sword Chu Tianji secluded himself, the Kunlun Sect has seldom produced any outstanding disciples, and it has been increasingly weakened over the years... In every Five Sect Competition, the champions are always other major sect's experts, with the Kunlun Sect only grabbing soup or porridge.

But it is precisely because of this weakening that it has given Qin Fang such opportunities.

His own talent destined that challenging the Supreme Realm wouldn't be too difficult...

Jian Qingfeng absorbed elemental energy in the Minor Kunlun Realm, and although the future path to reaching the Supreme Realm is still somewhat difficult, it shouldn't pose a major problem... But if Qin Fang seized the treasure in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm and handed it over to the Kunlun Sect, it could lead to another Supreme Realm Powerhouse emerging.

In just a matter of decades, the Kunlun Sect could have a few more Supreme Realm Powerhouses... although it's unlikely to overthrow Tianwai Tower's position as the first sect, at least they could suppress the other major sects.

I believe such a deal wouldn't be refused by the Kunlun Sect for a bit of Essence of Sunflower Water... After all, Qin Fang is a Kunlun disciple himself.

"Seems like I really have to seize the first position..."

At this moment, Qin Fang couldn't help but further solidify his determination...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
